Submitting form

[zzz]

How can I submit a form to another page via a text link?

I've tried something like:

echo "<a href='link.php' onclick='javascript:document.form.submit()'>Link</a>";

but it doesn't seem to work... Is there some syntax error here?

Read javascript together. this forum splits it.

onclick is already javascript, no need to specify it. I always do document.formname.submit() myself. If there were a javascript error your browser should be able to tell you. (An exclaimation mark in the status bar of IE or tools -> javascript console in mozilla browsers.)

Oh, and you might want to consider a javascript forum. Stands to reason the js experts would be there rather than at a php forum. This post includes a nice rant on the subject. 🙂

This works:

<form name="form" method="post" action="link.php">

<?php 

echo "<a href='javascript:document.form.submit();'>Link</a>";

?>
<input name="foo" type="text" id="foo">
</form>

You could omit the php altogether unless you've got something else going on...

My <a href> tag already has a link. Can't I add onclick within the tag.
